Objective:
To search for a more ideal way to disinfect infectious root canal of deciduous tooth.
Methods:
According to bacterial occurrence and clinical effect, 40 cases of infectious root canal of deciduous teeth disinfected with Ca(OH)2 were investigated, the other 40 cases with traditional way of using FC and CP respectively, were used as the control.
Results:
Fist of all, the bacteria of deciduous tooth infectious root canal were same as the bacteria of permanent tooth infectious root canal. Secondly, Ca(OH)2 was stronger in disinfecting deciduous tooth infectious root canal. Thirdly, so far as sterilization was concerned, Ca(OH)2 had the same disinfectant as FC, and was better than CP, but FC had some irritation and poisonous side-effects to periodical tissue. So Ca(OH)2 was safe and effective for deciduous tooth infectious root canal.
Conclusion:
It was a more ideal way to disinfect deciduous tooth infectious root canal by Ca(OH)2.
